As a 2007 kid I don't many of my peers actually are but we are pretty different than post 2007 kids. I still grew up with satellite tv for the most part.

Same (I use arch btw). Although I do end up using MacOS at work.

I have never seen a kid sit down for O Canada unless they are in a wheelchair. Of course getting sent to the principle's is not worth it but I would admire a kid who had the balls to do it.

As a zoomer (17) I kind of agree but I really don't think its that deep although big tech does seem to profit off people's incompetence. Yes kids my age know very little about the computers they use. Hell most kids don't even seem to know where their files are or how file paths work. I recently in Comp Sci class had a kid look at me confused when I mentioned the folder he was looking for was in his home directory. The dumbing down of Tech is definitely a culprit. Not always even in ways that the tech easier to use. Finder on MacOS outright hides things from you on purpose like file paths and being able to access arbitrary folder on your system. There are a considerable amount of features locked away in the settings menu where the vast majority of people will never even look. I highly think all of this is malicious as it severely degrades user experience and sets them to fail in the long run. Don't even get me started on the whole random files will end up in ICloud/Onedrive and there is nothing you can do about it.

As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don't help and I am too scared to search them up.

I am young (17). I like old things. Most kids my age like simple old things just because of the vibe. They feel a lot more real than digital stuff. I buy dvds from the library and the thrift store all the time even if I could just pirate them online in minutes. Owning stuff is nice.

I think he means in pre modern times. Not the current era.

I think a IRC server/channel full of lemmings would be cool. I wish my friends used IRC.

So basically I stupidly tried to update while my thinkpad had low battery and it powered off halfway through the update. The system wouldn't boot because it was complaining that vm-linuz/linux was not found so I performed a chroot-rescue and got it to boot again. I must have messed something up during the process because now the device wlan0 is not showing up in iwctl device list. How can I fix or diagnose this issue? (I am using btrfs if that helps). Has anyone had a similar situation and can lend a hand?

 

Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

 

You have probably done it without even noticing. The modern world is clearly miraculous.

I can't find an active thinkpad centric community on here I am just going to post here. My Thinkpad T480s, 16 GB RAM, 238 GB SSD is randomly shutting off while at like 50%. When I try to open it back up it always is dead and I have to connect charger to boot it up again. Why is this happening? Is it battery issue? It complains about not being able to read temp2_input while shutting down and sometimes say PM usage count underflow. Not sure what that is supposed to mean.
